Letters Patent No. 74,838, dated February 1868.

IMPROVEMENT IN MEGHANISM .POR GPERATING STATIONARY MACHINERY.

TO ALL WHOM IT MAY CONCERN: l

Be it known that I, GALUSIIA MARANVILLE, of Hampton, in the county of Washington, and State of New York, have invented a ne'w and improved Mechanism for OperatingrStationary Machinery; and I do hereby n declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part. of this specification. f

Figure 1 represents a side elevation of my invention.

Figure 2 is a plan or top view of the same.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional elevation of the salue,` taken on the plane of the line :c x, fig. 2v.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

This invention relates to a new arrangement of gear-wheels, looms, cranks, and levers, for driving suctionpumps, force-pumps, and other suitable stationary machinery. i i

i The invention consists, first, in the general arrangement'of gear-wheels for obtaining the aforesaid object,

and also in a new method of converting rotary into oscillating motion. l

The machine isso arranged that three different machines can be operated at once by it, it working one oscillating und two rotating shafts. The oscillating-shaft vwill be especially advantageous for operating one or Y two suction-pumps, while one of the rotary shafts may drive a chain or bucket-pump, an,d the other any suitable machinery. 4

A, in the drawing, represents the frame of my improved apparatus. In the frame A are the bearings for six shafts, B, C, D, E, F, and Gr. All these shafts are parallel with each other. The shaft B is the drivingshaft, and receives motion from suitable spring-weight, or otherwise. On the shaft B is mounted a gear-wheel, a, which meshes 'into a pinion, b, on shaft C, thereby revolving the latter.' A gear-wheel, c, on the `shaft C( meshes into pinions d and e that are mounted on the shafts D and F respectively, as is clearly shown in figs; 1 and 3. 'A gear-wheel, f, on the shaft D, meshes into a pinion, g,io'n the shaft E, and thus rotary motion is imparted from the shaft B by means of wheels on the shafts C and D to the shafts E and F. 0n the shaft E is formed an endless screw, it, whichV meshes into a toothed wheel, z', which is mounted on a. shaft, H, that has its bearings in the Vframe A at about right angles toV the other shafts, as shown in fig. 2. On the shaft H is mounted a pulley, j, from which, by means of a suitablebelt, orotherwise, motion may be transmitted to some suitable machinery. On the shaft F is also mounted a pulley, k, or `some equivalent device, for imparting motion to a belt, or, if'desired, to a chain or bucket-pump, I, as shown. Z is a crank, projecting from the shaft F, and m isa longer crank, projecting from the shaft Gr. The ends of the lcranks Z and m are con:` nected by means of a rod, n, and thus, when the shaft F revolves, oscillating motion is transferred to the shaft` G. On the shaft-G is mounted a walking-beam, o, which, when it thus receives Oscillating motion, may be used to drive two suction-pumps, J J, or some other suitable machine.

Thus, from thc one shaft B, motion can be imparted to three different machines. It is evident that the number of intermediate shafts and gear-wheels may be varied .at pleasure, the amount of power and the 'velocity required, regulating and indicating their number.

I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. Transmitting, from one shaft, B, by intermediate gear-wheels and shafts C D E, motion to two revolving shafts, F and II, and to one oscillating-shaft, G, all mader and operating substantially as described, so that, from one driving-shaft, three or more various machines may be operated, as set forth.

The manner of converting rotary into oscillating motion by connecting a short crank, Z on the revolving shaft F, by means-of a rod-n, with a long crank, m, on the oscillating-shaft G, substantially as herein shown and described.

The above specication of nity invention signed by me, this 6th day of December, 18.67.

GALUSHA -MARANVILLE.
